Chertsey High School

Teacher ask where your going before entering the building the building is closed off unless you’re using the toilet or going to the cafeteria the cafeteria so small teacher stand next to the toilets you’re always questioned in that school is ridiculous no privacy and not much freedom when it’s break time and lunchtime only recommend the school if you like a really strict school but sometimes the strict can be too much I feel like I’m in a private school where the standards are too high

Unfortunately the school favours heavily those children who’s parents donate to the school. They definitely have their favourites and do not have a fair process for all children across the board. The communication is bad, the teachers are in and out of that school like a revolving door which means no consistency with learning. Also no grasp whatsoever on how to tackle racism. Some teachers are great and it’s a shame they are let down by others who focus entirely on the same children and ignore the potential of the rest.

Very strict, but a nice balance of firm and fair. Amazing teachers. Some reasons for detentions aren't exactly justified, however if you do as you're told you should be just fine. Some teachers are very lenient.

Mixed views - as the other review - girls must wear skirts, boys trousers. No accounting for protected characteristics which is surely discrimination - not reflective of what we want to see in our young people. Promoted when opened as ICT strong/google school but no ICT lessons until year 9, no computer science, no afterschool ICT clubs for first intake throughout their whole time at the school, laptop scheme was abandoned. Tracking student progress and picking up concerns seems poor

Everything about this school is awful. They’re really discriminatory and transphobic (they refuse to use a students preferred names or pronouns unless they come out to their parents), they still go by “skirts for girls and trousers for boys”, they are awful at dealing with bullying or harassment, and the school has a lot of problems. The food is subpar, the mental health support is atrocious and I've been miserable there for years. The kids make my life a living hell, the teachers have no empathy for me whatsoever, and I feel so alone. I do not recommend this school, it has potential but how they handle things is awful.
